A Randomized Controlled Trial of Computer-Driven Weaning Compared With Standard of Care Weaning in Medical Patients Requiring Mechanical Ventilation
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of a computer-assisted ventilator
weaning system (Drager Smartcare) to our current standard of care in the medical intensive
care unit.
